Who can make FastPass+ reservations at Disney World?

All guests - whether they're staying onsite or offsite - can make 3 FastPass+ reservations per day in 1 of the Disney parks ahead of time beginning at 7 a.m. eastern time. All guests can also make use of the app or park kiosks to make or change FastPass+ reservations.

On-site guests (and some offsite)

People staying at a Disney World resort or one of a few offsite resorts can make FastPass+ reservations for their whole trip up to 60 days in advance of their trip's start date, beginning at 7 a.m. eastern time.

The offsite guests who can book 60 days in advance are those staying at these resorts:

Swan and Dolphin

B Resort & Spa

Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort

DoubleTree Guest Suites by Hilton Orlando

Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Palace

Hilton Orlando Resort Lake Buena Vista

Holiday Inn Orlando

Wyndham Lake Buena Vista

Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista

If you're connected in My Disney Experience to somebody with an onsite reservation, you will also be able to book FastPass+ 60 days before their trip start date.

Off-site guests

Everybody else can make FastPass+ reservations up to 30 days in advance of the day they plan to be in the park (which means off-site guests will have to be online for multiple days in a row).

What time can I get my FastPass+?

The website opens up availability at 7 a.m. eastern time. If you're onsite, that will be 60 days ahead of time. If you're offsite, that will be 30 days ahead.

Can I make FastPass+ reservations for my whole trip?

If you're staying onsite, you can book FastPass+ for as many days as you have tickets, beginning 60 days before your check-in date.

If you're staying offsite, you can only make FastPass+ 30 days before the day you plan to be at a park, which means you'll need to get online several days in a row to book for all of your trip days.

How does a FastPass+ work at Disney World?

When you have a FastPass+ reservation, it allows you to show up during the FastPass+ time and board an attraction in a separate FastPass+ line.

For rides, this is a 1 hour window. You can show up anytime during that hour. Actually, you can usually even be 5 minutes early or 15 minutes late and use your FastPass+.

For shows, your window will be shorter than an hour because it's for a specific showtime. You'll need to show up during that time to attend that show.

How many FastPass+ do I get per day?

Three is the short answer. Well, three that can be booked in advance.

And your first 3 FastPass+ reservations must be for all different rides.

However, you can get more FastPass+ reservations after you use the ones you booked in advance.

Once your FastPass+ reservations are used or expired, you can use the My Disney Experience app (in fact, as soon as you check in for your last FastPass, open the app and book another). You can also go to a kiosk and get another.

After that one is used or expired, you can get another. And so on.

These additional FastPass+ reservations can be in the same park or a different park and can be for the same ride over and over, if you want.

What are FastPass+ tiers?

FastPass+ tiers are in effect at all of the parks except Magic Kingdom.

Disney has separated their attractions in these parks into different tiers and they will only allow you to book 1 FastPass+ in 1 tier, and the other 2 FastPass+ can be from the other tier.

This keeps people from just booking all of the headliner attractions. Details on the tiers in each park are in the touring plans posts.

Which FastPass+ should I book?

Use FastPass+ for attractions that need it

Each of the park touring plan posts includes suggestions for which FastPass+ to get. Don't waste a FP+ on something that won't even have a line.

Don't use FastPass+ if there's no line

If you arrive at an attraction to use a FastPass+ reservation and the standby line is short (5 or 10 minutes), skip the FastPass+ line, get into the standby line and then change that FastPass+ to something else to use later. You can make the change on your phone or at a FastPass+ kiosk.

Does FastPass+ cost anything?

Well, it costs you the price of a park ticket since you must have park tickets linked in your My Disney Experience account to book FastPass+ reservations.

Outside of that, FastPass+ doesn't cost anything extra unless you take advantage of the purchase program available to some guests (more on that below).

What if I buy tickets somewhere other than Disney?

If you buy from a reputable ticket vendor, you'll be able to link them to your My Disney Experience account. Info on how to do that is below.

How to link your tickets

All guests should make FastPass+ reservations online ahead of time. In order to do that, you need to have tickets on your My Disney Experience account.

If you are staying on-site and bought a package for your trip (which includes a hotel and tickets), they'll already be in your account.

If you are staying off-site and/or bought tickets separate from your on-site hotel room, you need to link them.

You can link your tickets by logging in to your My Disney Experience account, selecting "My Reservations and Tickets" from the menu, and then clicking the Link Tickets button.

From there, you'll be able to enter your ticket info, and there's helpful on-screen info about where to find the numbers you'll use.

You can also link your tickets using the My Disney Experience app.

After opening the app, touch the home icon at the bottom left corner, select My Tickets, click the plus sign at the top, and then choose "Link Tickets & Passes." From there, you can type the ticket number or scan the code.

After making FastPass+ reservations, you will be able to scan your MagicBands or RFID-enabled park ticket when you arrive to an attraction at your FastPass+ time.

Do I need a MagicBand to use FastPass+?

No, you don't need a MagicBand. You can just use your RFID-enabled park ticket to get into the parks and to use your FastPass+. Without a MagicBand, you'll miss out on some on-ride videos, but other than that, you should be fine.

How to buy FastPass+

Beginning January 12, 2018, guests staying in one of the rooms listed below after March 13, 2018, who have 3+ day park tickets (or an Annual Pass) get the option to purchase FastPass+ ahead of time for $50 plus tax per guest per day as part of a new, limited pilot program.

These guests receive:

Three additional FastPass+ selections per day. FastPass+ attractions and entertainment experiences, the number of selections you can make and available arrival windows are limited.

The opportunity to reserve these three additional FastPass+ selections in more than one theme park when a valid Park Hopper option is also purchased with the ticket.

A booking window of up to 90 days in advance for these three additional FastPass+ selections and the ability to book them at multiple top-tier attractions. Guests may not repeat the same FastPass+ attraction during a single day.

Preferred viewing location for nighttime spectaculars, one per day, including Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom, Illuminations: Reflections of Earth at Epcot, Fantasmic! at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Rivers of Light at Animal Kingdom. Advanced reservation is required and availability of each nighttime spectacular preferred viewing location is limited.

Can I use somebody else's FastPass+?

Yes, you can do that, as long as they are in the park as well. In other words, you can't make FastPass+ reservations for somebody who isn't at Disney World and expect to be able to use those FP+ for yourself.

You'd just need to get their MagicBand or park ticket, and scan that as you enter the FastPass+ line.

So if you are staying on site and can book 60 days in advance for the length of your stay…. does this mean I can book for the whole 10 days we are there all on the one night? Or do I have to stay up late every night to do each day at a time?? Sorry I’m confused…..from Sydney, Australia. Thanks!

How do you book more fast passes on the app once you use one? We are at the parks and trying to add another after we used our first one and it says you can only get 3 per day even though it’s kbky showing 2 leg to use.

You can add additional ones after your first 3 have been redeemed. After you scan to enter the FastPass line for the 3rd FastPass, open the app to get a 4th. Once you scan for the 4th, you can try to get a 5th, etc.

We have a split stay coming up, both stays are on the WDW property and our tickets are linked to our 2nd reservation. When will I be able to book out fast passes? At the beginning of our first check in or 2nd? Thanks in advance!

Quick question – Does anyone know if when you go to get an additional fast pass, does that fast pass cover everyone on your family/friends list, or do you have to search for individual fast passes for each person?

If you are trying to get additional FP+ using the app, you will have the option of who you want on your party to look for the FP+.

A lot of people don’t know you can get more fast passes after your initial allotment runs out. Our most recent trip, we got literally dozens of extra fast passes on the app after we used up our first three each day.

An agent has been automatically chosen for you, but you can select another name if you have somebody specific you'd like to work with.
